[Experience in the management of fresh fibular capsule-ligament injuries of the upper ankle joint using fibrin glue].

An alternative in the reconstruction of fresh lateral ankle ligament injuries is reported. Especially in heavily traumatised ligament stumps, safe application of adapting sutures can be difficult. Thus local reactions of the tissue can cause augmented but functionally insufficient scars. The fibrin glue warrants an atraumatic treatment of the ligaments.
